DLESE-000-000-000-050 DLESE Community Collection (DCC) adn 2009-07-07T23:01:01Z 2006-11-10 accessioneddiscoverable true CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-078 More explanation for the graphs and what is being presented within them. More examples of how to complete the task being asked of the learner would also be helpful. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-239 The only bad thing about this resource was that it was a bit technically confusing. But otherwise, I had fun! CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-217 Student had trouble remembering the # of minutes in a degree of latitude & longitude when graphing. I used clock time as a comparison. Students also needed guidance on saving & opening their files. They tried to open their files before they were on the site. Some students also needed help with the order in which tasks were to be done on the epicenter & magnitude section of the lab. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-237 I think this was a boring resource, maybe you can make it more fun. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-222 It is something fun to do and you can learn a little or a lot of different things from this website. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-098 I've used single sections of the program on the overhead in my classroom to illustrate various aspects of the earthquake locating process. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-230 Ask your teacher or classmates for help, it's confusing at the beginning, but when you get used to it, it's easy enough. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-090 This is a great website and will help you a lot. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-234 It would be more convenient if the boxes were given different colors. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-235 It was very interesting and fun. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-221 Make sure you get it before you start. You have know be very close befroe moving on. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-341 My daughter completed this application. It is a good learning tool (I did it with her), but suggest that you make the certificate printout in basic black and white to be easier on the inkjet printer cartridges. They have to print out the certification and turn it in. Thanks CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-226 It was interesting and fun to do. Be sure to read the directions or you won't know what to do. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-395 You need to be exact on the magnitude. For example you need to go to the .00 which makes it difficult because the lines are so close. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-C-411 I think that the students should be able to browse through the questions once again before the answers are graded. Also, the students should be allowed to go back and revisit the problems they missed. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-229 Maybe a tutorial for people less computer savvy. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-238 Use the resource key, it's there for a good reason and it works. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-223 Follow instructions and take your time, this resource is not complicated CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-351 Practice on paper to calculate distances. It is useful to make graphs on "millimeter" graph paper. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-228 Make the instructions more clear. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-233 Try and make it more fun and kid-friendly. If it had more to keep my interest I would have gotten more than I did. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-093 Make sure the computer lab you are using is java-enabled, especially if it "worked" at home the night before! CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-232 Try to follow the directions as they tell you. It can get somewhat confusing. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-020 If students are assigned to use Virtual Earthquake to learn about seismic techniques, require that they bring you their printed certificate as proof they performed the activity. Suggested for grades 8-12 CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-236 Remember that there is a key for the symbols. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-092 I like using this activity...AFTER the students have completed a paper / compass epicenter lab. They LOVE printing out their certificates at the end. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-224 Use less technical language and put in more bright colors CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-220 This is a great site to get knowledge about earthquakes. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-225 The directions could have been clearer. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-227 Don't make it so complicated. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-A http://www.dlese.org/reviews/crs/index8.php CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-I http://www.dlese.org/reviews/crs/index7.php CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-416 I would have liked to see conclusions that could be drawn from the various mathematical operations, along the lines of "... so you can see that an increase in the amount of insolation in the same amount that it was DECREASED during the last ice age will cause the temperature to increase by ..." CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-381 Run the activity simultaneously with your students so you can show them how to use some of the tools on a projector (for visual learners). CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-240 This is a fun and useful way of learning more about science. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-231 A little more visual would make this more interesting. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-T-032 Requires fairly good computer skills. CRS-DLESE-000-000-000-050-E http://www.dlese.org/reviews/crs/index10.php Virtual Earthquake is an interactive web-based program designed to introduce the concepts of how an earthquake epicenter is located and how the Richter magnitude of an earthquake is determined. Virtual Earthquake shows the recordings of an earthquake's seismic waves detected by instruments far away from the earthquake. The instrument recording the seismic waves is called a seismograph and the recording is a seismogram. The point of origin of an earthquake is called its focus and the point on the earth's surface directly above the focus is the epicenter. You are to locate the epicenter of an earthquake by making simple measurements on three seismograms that are generated by the Virtual Earthquake program. Additionally, you will be required to determine the Richter Magnitude of that quake from the same recordings. Richter Magnitude is an estimate of the amount of energy released during an earthquake. en DLESE:Geophysics Earthquakes Seismograph, Seismogram Epicenter Richter magnitude S waves, P waves, S-P interval Seismic waves, l Dr Gary A.
